Nintendo 3DS & Louvre

My own guided tour!

The Nintendo 3DS and the famous Paris museum, the Louvre, teamed up on a really cool project. Now you have can have your own guided audio/visual tour of the Louvre on the 3DS. If you haven’t been to Paris I suggest if you had time to check this magical city out. I spent around 2 weeks in Paris and let me tell you, it was not enough time (also a really good INXS song). I also spent like 3 days in the Louvre which is truly not much time. The Louvre is so big and has so much art and history. It can be overwhelming.
